Day 1 - Researching A Setting-Specific Story (not just historical research, but location, culture, language, regional practice, etc)
Day 2 - The Importance of Senses (using other senses besides the basic five: scent, sight, touch, hear and taste.)
Day 3 - W5+H+M (who, what, where, when, why + how + motive)
Day 4 - Romance vs. Erotica: How Much Sex? (when romance becomes erotica and the change in the romance and erotica industries)
Day 5 - Shaking Your Tree (using your family tree for character names, story ideas or researching family documents as a way to research historical facts)
And while you're on their site, check out their review of A Piece of My Heart. Reviewer Camellia said: Kemberlee Shortland’s thorough character development and the world-rocking love scenes make A Piece of My Heart captivating, but most of all it is the long-suffering love that hides but abides, cries but never dies that makes this beautiful tapestry of a tale memorable.
Please come by and say hello!
